Sometimes you _can_ judge a book by its cover (or a
game by its title). If you saw the name of the game and
said, "that sounds like a completely average survival/
sandbox/crafting game except set in a sci-fi setting",
then -ding ding ding- you win the kewpie doll. Wander
around in space, collecting resources, and building up
your base. It's an okay game, but except for the setting
(which isn't really original either) it's got nothing any
of the hundreds of similar games have. If you enjoyed "The
Raft" or "Space Engineers" or "No Man's Sky" or the like,
well, here's another one just like it. But if you want
something novel, well, maybe look elsewhere.
Why are so many people so fond of survival games anyway? I find them
tedious.
Fantasies that they could do all that in real life.
